More about the Ellsworth Ecumenical Lenten Services
We here in the Ellsworth area are blessed with a group of clergy from a wide range of faith expressions who work together collegially to provide worship experiences for this community.
As has been the tradition, we will again provide weekly worship during the Lenten period. At 7:00 PM on the five Wednesdays of Lent, there will be an opportunity to worship with your neighbors in five different churches. Each service will reflect the style of worship that is customary for the host church, and will include a message from a clergyperson who is the pastor of another local church. Each week there will be an offering which will be donated to the Church Discretionary Fund administered by the Emmaus Homeless Shelter.
The theme this year is “A Call to Repair & Rebuild Relationships:”
1. With the world;
2. With our faith;
3. With the church;
4. With the Lord and the Holy;
5. With others, oneself, and community.
All services are at 7:00 PM and the schedule is as follows:
- Feb. 29 St. Andrew Lutheran Church , Junction of Routes #1 and #184 Preacher: Pastor Joanne Douglass of Community of Christ Church
- Mar. 7 Union Congregational Church of Ellsworth Falls, UCC , Junction of Routes #1A and #179 Preacher: Rev. Keith Bowie of Union Congregational Church of Hancock

- Mar 21 United Methodist Church, Hancock Street Preacher: Rev. Sara Huisjen of Unitarian Universalist Church

We hope to see you on March 21st or at any of the other Lenten services offered this year.
